This is a terrific name. It suggests to me a mischievious, humorous, clever person who can get into a lot of unpleasant situations but can just as easily get out of them. It sounds a little like "clover" to me, but that wouldn't stop me from using it. I love this name.

Such a lovely name, very masculine but gentle sounding too. Clovis would make a wonderful name for a little boy or a grown man, unlike a lot of names used now that sound childish.

Clovis points are thin, fluted projectile points that date to the Paleoindian period around 13, 500 years ago (as of 2011) and are associated with the North American Clovis culture. The Clovis points are named for Clovis, New Mexico, where they were first discovered in 1929.
